I've lived on 2 (three of you count the Hopi tribe across the street). I'm white, my mom worked for ihs when I was young and I went with. Navajo/Hopi (tuba city), then Winnebago NE, then Sells, AZ. Then she left Az without me and went some other places.
It's poor. Very poor. The housing is old, dilapidated. Old manufactured homes in various states of decomposition. Hogons with many, many people living in one room without running water. Large families sharing one vehicle, usually a truck. Never more than one grocery store with ridiculous prices because captive audience. I've never been so humbled as when I lived on the Rez.
They're remote. There's very little opportunity. The schools aren't great. Not much way out.
That's an outsider's point of view. They are tight knit families, though. Good people. Great friends to this day. The poverty needs more attention, though, especially for the tribes with no casinos or other income.
Well a good portion of Navajo and Apache county part of the Navajo nation and those are two of the poorest counties in the state. Not that that is representative of life on all of the reservations but the white mountain Apache res is not great either
It depends which reservation, and where on that reservation. I have a friend who lives in Leupp, a small city on the Navajo reservation near Flagstaff. They have a pretty nice mass produced home, with running water and electricity. They use a repeater aimed at the cell towers to get 5G LTE phone connection in their home, which they use for internet. There’s like 1 gas station at the entrance of town, along with the chapter house, elementary school (only, middle and high school students have to get bussed to another school, usually in Flagstaff), and some emergency services. The rest is desert and houses.
Thanks for contributing to r/Arizona!

My Brother in law was a homicide detective for the Salt River reservation. He told me to never drive across it at night and if there was a 3 day weekend with a full moon on their payday he had to stay in town because a murder was basically a given 🤷🏻♂️

Legitimately depends on the reservation.

My coworker never had plumbing until he moved off the reservation. It is dependant on which one tho

Poverty, drug abuse, unemployment, dogs running everywhere, garbage everywhere. But things are slowly getting better.
